Duplicate works.

This is particularly valuable when you have a new work to create that is almost the same as an existing work.

The way to search if you don't know the title, ISBN or contributor, but you do know other information, e.g. publication date, category, batch.

Derive one work from another.

Where you create a work that is derived in particular ways from one or more other works, indicate this in your metadata, because it is a great aid to discoverability.

About editions.

Learn the use of four particular data elements – the edition number, the edition version, the edition statement, and edition type codes – with a particular focus on the way in which you are expected to specify them in accordance with ONIX-related best practices.

About illustrations.

We encourage you to also adopt the more detailed and internationally-appropriate approach described in this article.
